Letters: Bishop David Ricken was correct on issues

Since Jeff Spoehr brought it up again in his Nov. 29 commentary, let's look at Bishop David Ricken's October letter to his "Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ."

The bishop states "the church is not a political organism" but "has the responsibility to speak out regarding moral issues, especially on those issues that impact the 'common good' and the 'dignity of the human person.'"

I agree.

If the government legislates on moral issues, who is crossing the line? It's pretty hard to separate those issues, isn't it?

Homosexual "marriage" is a misnomer. For centuries, marriage has been defined as a union of a man and a woman. This generation thinks it can change that just by saying so? Call it civil union, but marriage it ain't.

The real gray area in voting is that a candidate may be against these five evils but for other unjust ways.

Therein lies the dilemma.
